Ellen DeGeneres shared a heart to heart with “patient zero” of Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”.
Gregg Garfield contracted COVID-19 from a ski trip to Italy. Upon returning home he was intubated for 31 days and given a 1% chance of survival.
Thankfully, after 64 days in hospital, Garfield returned home to his girlfriend AJ Johnson and his sister Stephanie Bruno, who all helped share his story with the talk show host. “I’m doing great, getting better and stronger each day,” Garfield told DeGeneres.
The doctors never told Johnson or Bruno that Garfield had only a 1% chance of survival. RELATED: Andrea Bocelli On Battling COVID-19: ‘We Were Fortunate Enough To Have A Swift And Full Recovery’ “Than
